State Rep. Gary Forby, D-Benton, took the oath of office today as the new state senator in the 59th Legislative District. This is important for the Old Slave House because Forby is now the local lawmaker in the Senate (the fourth since the site closed). The local state representative remains Brandon Phelps (the third state rep since the site closed). I met with both men three weeks ago in Springfield and have invited them to attend our meetings. Both have said they support the site and want to see it open.
On a side note, I'm in the process of trying to fix this page. It looks ok on my computer, but I discovered last week it doesn't look good on others. Tonight I was told by someone they that their system wouldn't even show these updates. The mistakes are mine. I bought a new HTML book tonight and should have it figured out sometime this year.
